On January 1, 2015, Shea Company issues 700 bonds, 15 years (1000 par value bonds at 97) with a coupon rate of 6% and maturing in 2030. The straight line method is used to amortize any bond discount or premium on a semi-annual basis. Be sure to label the discount or premium as: discount on bonds within long-term liability or premium on bonds within long-term liability (the discount r premium in the system relates to the sale of inventory and does not apply here). Also label to cash inflow and outflows from the bonds including interest payments as: Cash, Bonds- within the bank and checking account. Do not forget the journals required every six months.

Two years later, on January 1, 2017, Shea retires 20% of these bonds by buying them on the open market at 104 (or $1040 a bond). All interest and amortization is accounted for by two separate journal entries for each and paid through December 31, 2016, the day before the purchase is to occur. Purchase these bonds with Cash, Bonds within the bank and checking account

Required:

In QuickBooks™, provide the journal entry at January 1, 2015 for the issuance of the 700 bonds.

In QuickBooks™, provide the entries for interest expense and amortization expense up to December 31, 2016.

In QuickBooks™, provide the journal entry which retires 20% (140 bonds) of the bond in the public market.

A study was conducted that measured the total brain volume (TBV) (in mm³) of patients that had schizophrenia and patients that are considered normal. Table #3.1 contains the TBV of the normal patients and table #3.1 contains the TBV of schizophrenia patients ("SOCR data oct2009," 2013). Is there enough evidence to show that the patients with schizophrenia have less TBV on average than a patient that is considered normal? Test at the 10% level.

1. (a) The chance of winning a lottery game is 1 in approximately 25 million. Suppose you buy a $1 lottery ticket in anticipation of winning the $75 million grand prize. Calculate your expected net winnings for this single ticket and interpret the result, as indicated below:
µ = E(x) =

Your average LOSSES / GAINS (<—circle the correct all-caps word) would be −−−−−−−−−−−−− (<—fill in the blank) per game.

(b) Now Repeat part (a), but assume a (more realistic) grand prize of $2 million.

(c) Now, repeat part (a), but suppose the chance of winning is 1 in w million, the price of the lottery ticket is y dollars, and that the grand prize is z million dollars. Show that E(x) = z w −y.

(d) Many primary care doctors feel overworked and burdened by potential lawsuits. In fact, a group of researchers reported that 82% of all general practice physicians do not recommend medicine as a career. Let x represent the number of sampled general practice physicians who do not recommend medicine as a career. Why is x approximately a binomial random variable? Use the researchers report to estimate p for the binomial random variable. Consider a random sample of 15 general practice physicians. Use the estimate for p you just found to find the mean and standard deviation of x, the number who do not recommend medicine as a career. Of those 15, find the probability that at least one general practice physician does not recommend medicine as a career. Provide a rough sketch of this binomial distribution, and discuss its shape (is it symmetric?)
Why binomial?

Instructions for your concept map:

• Draw one square in the center of your paper with “Genetics” in it as a starting point for your concept map. Genetics is your central concept.

• Concepts are placed in Circles (see below for the list of 25 concepts that you MUST include). You will probably have a few concepts that branch off of "Genetics".

• Arrows show relationships between concepts

– Write appropriate linking words on the line above the arrow

– Every concept needs at least one arrow leading into and one arrow leading away from the concept. An arrow with correct linking words will be worth 0.5 pt (25 concepts means you should have 50 arrows, so 0.5 pt X 50 = 25 points). Linking words will most likely vary in length (1 word, 5 words, 8 words, etc...).

• The Concept Map should tell a story that makes sense. Make sure you include arrowheads on all of your arrows so we know which direction to read your linking words in.

• Make sure your concepts and linking words are legible, so we can grade your concept map.

Written Homework #1

Using the data in the table, answer the following questions:

(a) For which good does England have a comparative advantage? Explain your answer.

(b) For which good does Portugal have a comparative advantage? Explain your answer.

(c) If specialization and trade occurred, what might be an exchange rate between the two goods that would be mutually beneficial to both countries?

(d) Prove that both countries would be better off in the specialization-trade case than in the no specialization–no trade case. Use a PPF for each country separately to prove this showing the PPF before trade and the PPF available after trade if the mutually beneficial exchange rate were in place.
